Drawing Music :: Matmos & So Percussion

"Propulsive Musical Experiment"

Matmos, an electronic duo known to me for their work with Björk, and So Percussion just released new collaborative album Treasure State. As aptly described on Cantaloupe Music record label site, this album is a "propulsive musical experiment". Matmos & So kicked off their American "Treasure State" tour in NYC at the (Le) Poisson Rouge. And I was there, under the stage, drawing and dissolving in the sounds.
